I bought it for the camper

I like Vettes, infact the ball cap I like to wear everyday is below, and I have a wall in my shop that is devoted to them (also below)











And I deceided to make it classy:

Narrow whitewalls are proper for that Vette.

[Corvette.Jeff]

Agreed!^^^


hey nick, im the same way as you, i love anything with the corvette name, hell my first car was a 1984 corvette coupe!
i miss that little rocket, everyone always downs on those crossfire motors, mine was anything but slow!!!


are you gonna get a 'vette? i heard they go mega cheap in Canada.



Jeff


P.s. if you think your to young to own a vette think about this,i bought mine when i was 18, i knew a 14 year old kid tht had one as well.

[Nick Winter]

I don't think it would be appropriate for the life I lead.

[Corvette.Jeff]

[Nick Winter]

Primed it,and detailed the wheels, changed my mind on tires went for some Polyglas', lots of work to go.

I think you'll enjoy that kit Jeff, I'll update the participants list.

HEY! I have that same picture - mine's in a Wood frame.

All mine have matching frames, not sure who did it because i bought all 4 at a yard sale for $1

[Nick Winter]

I got mine in a yard sale too!

Wonder what the odds of that are

[Nick Winter]

After lots of smoothing and priming, I painted it 3 coats of GM Tuxedo Black.




That's without Clear.

Stay tuned

up next: BMF, Decals and clear

[Nick Winter]

Did the clear and decals still need to do BMF

i have a small update, no pics though.
i shaved the handles and got 98% of the trim off the passenger side, now to do the drivers side, also got it down to the stance i want, its gonna be low, but not to low.

Sounds good Jeff. I still got loads of things to do on the vette The only things almost done are the body (still needs BMFed) and the wheels/tires (still need sanded. But as my grandfather taught me, "I'll get around to it"

[Nick Winter]

Beleive it or not I actually got around to it Did the BMF, did the whole interior, BMFed the interior, flocked it, assembled it etc.
